- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The most important outcome measure of this study is *Speed of remission *,<br /><br>which is a measure of the speed with wich symptom reduction takes place as a<br /><br>result of the intervention. It is expressed a sthe area unbder teh curve that<br /><br>described symptom scores (on a depresison rating scale) versus time. Since the<br /><br>costs of the applied interventions are known at the level of minutes, it is<br /><br>possible to calculate the cost-effectiveness (efficiency) of NiceDay versus<br /><br>behavioral treatment as usual.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Apart from psychometrics, we measure Quality Of Life and (to a limited extent)<br /><br>physical health parameters.</p><br>
